I am exhausted but full of elation after three days at Awesome Con in Washington, DC. I’m not a big fan of huge cons, and this one is definitely a little too big for my comfort zone. I don’t like the feeling of not being able to do and see all of the things I want to do and see. But one of the things I love about big cons is that your experience with the mix of activities you choose to do at one is unique. For example, I’m not into photo ops (ew, I don’t want to see myself) or meeting celebs (I would embarrass the hell out of myself). But I am into panels and into fitting as much as possible into a day.

I started a comprehensive write-up then realized: no, there is too much. Let me sum up…

Highlights included:

Seeing John Barrowman in a kilt and sporran, talking about the Battle of Culloden and Bonnie Prince Charlie using his full Scottish accent

Getting to sit inside a Supernatural Impala

Getting signed art from Karen Hallion

Attending the Stucky anthology reading

Seeing Scott Gill in Captain Jack’s greatcoat

Wanting to as Garrett Wang a question and having him read my mind and answer it for me before the Q&A portion even began
